Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 249 The Flying Lin Quan, The Silent Camp Nou!

"CCTV, CCTV!"

"Dear viewers, here is the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg match between Barcelona and Manchester City at home!"

In CCTV's live broadcast room, He Wei and Xu Yang introduced the formations and starting rosters of the two teams in a quick tone, and then said:
"This is Lin Quan's first return to the Nou Camp on behalf of other teams after leaving Barcelona. I wonder how he will perform against his former owner at the Nou Camp today?"

Stepping into the Nou Camp Stadium, the boos and abuse that Lin Quan expected may appear did not appear.

Barcelona fans did not attack him, but simply ignored his existence.

They cheered loudly for every player who played, shouting the names of Barcelona players in unison.

When the DJ at the scene read the names of Neymar and Messi and others, the cheers at the scene reached their peak.

We have Messi, we have Neymar, we don't need a player who is not loyal to Barcelona!

This is probably their true thoughts at the moment!

Lin Quan just glanced at it, then looked away.

He is not interested in knowing what the Barcelona fans think.

At this moment, the only thought in his heart is to take victory away from here!
The referee for this game is Kupels, from the Netherlands.

He ranked third in the 2013 referee rating and is an outstanding referee.

Kupels' law enforcement standards are relatively strict, and he likes to give cards.

Historically, in this season's Champions League final, Kupels showed a total of 12 yellow cards to the two fighting teams, which can be called a licensing machine.

This is obviously very unfavorable for Manchester City, because they are used to the loose penalty scale in the Premier League. Suddenly encountering such a referee with a tight penalty scale will be very uncomfortable and it is easy to get a card.

At 19:00 in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

City, in blue, occupied the right side of the pitch, attacking from right to left.

Barcelona, ​​wearing red and blue jerseys, occupies the left side of the field and attacks from left to right.

Barcelona kicked off first, Messi handed the ball to Neymar and ran forward.

Neymar passed the ball back to Iniesta and then quickly ran wide.

After the opening, Barcelona played very actively. This is their own home court, and they don't need to be conservative.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Barcelona's players pressed forward aggressively, and the football was quickly passed back and forth under their feet. Manchester City's players began to experience the power of Barcelona's passing and controlling football.

In the 3rd minute, after Barcelona passed through multiple people in the frontcourt, Harvey suddenly sent a through kick.

Messi had already started ahead of time before Xavi passed the ball, instantly throwing off the defender and receiving a pass from his teammate at the front of the penalty area.

He adjusted his posture to shoot, attracted Manchester City's defender to grab the ball and quickly dribbled into the penalty area.

Both Zabaleta and Kompany were attracted by Messi, and they all rushed towards him.

However, Messi did not choose to shoot himself, but passed the ball to Neymar who killed from the wing to the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Neymar shot directly without stopping the ball. The ball was very threatening, but Joe Hart was very excited and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"Concentrate, don't miss people on both sides!"

Joe Hart stood up on the ground and reminded his teammates loudly.

Facing a top team like Barcelona, ​​any mistakes they make may be a fatal blow to their opponents.

Kolarov raised his hand apologetically, indicating that the ball was a mistake by himself.

He didn't post Neymar in the first place and gave the opponent a chance to shoot.

Seeing that Neymar missed the shot, Messi touched his chin, turned around and left the Manchester City penalty area with his head down, ready to take a corner kick.

Neymar hugged his head with some annoyance, such a good opportunity was wasted by himself, if this goal is scored, he can become the hero of Barcelona.

The corner kick was taken and Kompany won the spot.

But there are Barcelona players on the periphery, and the ball that was cleared was quickly controlled by Barcelona.

Harvey tried a long-range shot, hit the defender and bounced back.

Both De Bruyne and Iniesta rushed towards the football, the two collided, and both fell to the ground.

The referee stopped the game and stepped forward to check the injury.

Fortunately, the two were not injured, and the game continued quickly.

The ball was awarded to Manchester City by the referee, but before the ball could be passed, it was cut off under the pressure of Barcelona. Barcelona continued to attack Manchester City's goal.

In the first few minutes of the game, the situation on the field was very passive for Manchester City. The football was always in their own half, and their formation was very compressed. Effective counterattack.

Seeing that the team had the upper hand, the Barcelona fans who came to Camp Nou were very excited and sang Barcelona's team song happily.

"We are believers in blue!"

"We have a common belief!"

"We have the name Weizhen Huanyu!"

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!!"

"Barcelona!!!"

Amidst the loud singing of Barcelona fans, Barcelona launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Manchester City.

In the 13th minute, Messi's shot after a breakthrough was blocked by Joe Hart with his legs.

In the 17th minute, Neymar's long-range shot went over the crossbar.

In the 22nd minute, Iniesta's back shot hit the post!
……

Barcelona is getting closer and closer to breaking the goal!

Can't go on like this, the team is too passive!
Thinking of this, Lin Quan simply withdrew and joined the defense.

In the 27th minute, football once again came to Messi's feet.

As soon as Messi was about to drive the ball forward, he felt someone appear in front of him.

He habitually raised his head and glanced at the other party, his pupils constricted—it was Lin!
What is he doing in the backcourt if he doesn't stay in the frontcourt?
"Here we come, Emperor Lin finally confronts Messi!"

"Who can win? Who is xdm optimistic about?"

"That must be the champion of the club. Lin Huang is not a dedicated defensive player. If he defends Messi, it is better than putting a wooden stake in front of Messi!"

"Haha, it's too much, too much. Although Lin Huang's defensive ability is not at the top level, it is considered good among forwards!"

"Having said that, aren't strikers used for offense? Whose strikers are used for defense?"

Netizens think this sentence is very funny. The defensive ability of forwards is generally not strong. What's the use of being strong in defense among forwards?

"Manchester City was suppressed in the first three 10 minutes too badly. Just looking at the scene, it feels like the two teams are not at the same level!"

"It's nothing. I often watch Barcelona play football and know that they have always played like this. If you look at the possession rate or something, the gap between the two sides is even bigger."

"Barcelona's pass pressure is very strong, but it's hard to say whether it can be converted into goals. This season, I always feel that their offensive ability is not as good as last year."

"It is indeed not as good as last year. Last year, Barcelona scored 115 goals in the league. Although there are still 7 rounds to play this year, the gap of 26 goals feels impossible to catch up."

"Didn't it mean that Neymar's strength is very strong? Why did Barcelona's offensive power drop when he joined Barcelona?"

"Horse's strength is indeed good, but Barcelona's midfielder is aging. This season Xavi's condition is much worse than last season, and he is older and less energetic than before. It is difficult for him to persist in playing the whole game. Once Without Harvey's command and dispatch, Barcelona's offensive firepower dropped not at 01:30!"

"Barcelona must continue to sign in this summer. If they don't sign in to strengthen the team, I'm afraid the record will decline further next season!"

On the field, Messi was just surprised.

After he figured out that Lin Quan was an offensive player rather than a defensive player, he no longer had any worries in his heart.

Even your defenders can't guard against me, and it's useless if you come!
Messi flicked the ball, ready to rush past Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan seemed to have seen through his intentions, and stretched out his feet the moment he dialed the ball, trying to grab his ball.

If it were an ordinary player, Lin Quan might not be able to defend against it.

But with Messi, it's different.

After all, he used the template of the peak Messi, and he knew exactly what Messi was going to do.

Lin Quan's action surprised Messi, he hurriedly adjusted and tried to control the ball under his feet.

In the past, Messi's trick has been tried and tested in the face of other defensive players.

But today, he met his opponent.

Lin Quan's foot frequency is the same as his, even faster than him.

Lin Quan touched the ball first, and he planned to pass the ball to Aguero near the center line.

Although Messi's kick was half a beat slow, he still hit the ball, which caused the flight direction of the ball to change.

The football flew out in front of the two and flew behind Messi.

De Bruyne, who was cruising here, saw the ball flying towards him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

However, before he could stop the ball, he lost the ball under the double-teaming of Alves and Harvey.

After Harvey steals the ball, he quickly gives the ball to Iniesta. Iniesta pretends to break forward, but after breaking into the penalty area, he passes back to Messi who has entered the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

After passing Kompany, Messi chose to volley into the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal. The quality of the shot was very high, but today Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart turned into St. Joe Hart, he leaped high and caught Messi This kick hits the door!
Seeing that his shot was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper, Messi couldn't help scratching his head.

This goalkeeper is a bit perverted today!

Lin Quan just saw that De Bruyne got the ball and started running forward, ready to attack, but unexpectedly lost the ball after only a few steps.

Just as he was about to return to defense at this time, he saw Joe Hart save Messi's shot.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Quan immediately turned around and ran towards Barcelona's half court.

Seeing Lin Quan's actions, Joe Hart praised him in his heart.

He didn't throw the ball to Lin Quan at the first time, but threw the ball to Cross at the front of the penalty area.

Cross also observed Lin Quan's running position, but he didn't pass it directly to Lin Quan, but quickly handed the ball to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's position was closer to the half court. After receiving the ball, he glanced at Lin Quan's direction, sent a through ball, and passed the ball to Lin Quan.

Manchester City's ground advances were very fast. Before most Barcelona players had time to retreat to their own half, their counterattack had already passed halftime.

"Defend, retreat and defend!"

Seeing Manchester City's simple and efficient counterattack, Barcelona coach Martino's eyes widened in horror.

This rapid counterattack reminded him of Mourinho's Real Madrid.

Is this the trump card carefully prepared by Manchester City?
Fortunately, I also arranged for Busquets to be the backup!
Just as Lin Quan passed the middle circle, Busquets rushed forward and appeared in front of him.

As Lin Quan's national team teammate, Busquets is too aware of Lin Quan's strength.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to rush up rashly. In the Spanish team training, Lin Quan has already shown everyone what will happen to him if he rushes up rashly.

He glanced at his teammates. Pique was not far behind him, and he was retreating into the penalty area.

And in front of him, Xiaofa is chasing back with the fastest speed.

As long as it is delayed for a while, until the teammates catch up, or to the front of the penalty area, when Pique and Mascherano step forward to help, they can stop the opponent's attack.

Busquets made a judgment in an instant, he gave up the idea of ​​grabbing, and while stepping back, he focused on the movements of Lin Quan's feet.

Professor Bu's plan is to exchange time for space, dragging the opponent until he makes a mistake, or dragging his teammates to assist him.

When encountering a player with a very strong breakthrough ability like Lin Quan, he can't defend against him alone.

Therefore, what he has to do is to pull Lin Quan into the defensive area of ​​his teammates, forming a double-team, and using multiple people to help defend Manchester City's attack.

When the striker takes the ball forward, if there is always a defensive player in front of him keeping a close distance from him, it will put enormous psychological pressure on the striker.

If the striker is in a hurry during this period and reveals his flaws, then the defensive player can take the opportunity to destroy the ball in advance.

Even if the forward is calm-headed and not in a hurry, and both of them are dragged into the penalty area, then the defensive player has the advantage because there is still a goalkeeper in the penalty area.

Therefore, retreating defense is a very clever defensive strategy.

It's a pity that the defensive players or coaches didn't realize this at this time, but Busquets realized this truth in advance.

Seeing Busquets' choice, Lin Quan frowned.

Does retreating defend to compress space?
This kind of defensive method is quite shameless. The defenders don't rush up, don't make easy moves, and just keep retreating.

When a person retreats, he is definitely not as fast as running forward.

Therefore, the distance between the two will be shortened a little bit, which will lead to a smaller and smaller safe space between Lin Quan and Busquets.

When the space is small to a certain extent, the offensive player dribbles the ball forward, simply giving the ball directly to the opponent.

If they don't want to hand over the ball so easily, they can only slow down and control the ball at their feet.

Once their speed slowed down, the quick counterattack this time was basically declared a failure.

During the Liverpool period, Van Dijk relied on this trick to resolve countless crises, and almost won the Ballon d'Or as a defender!

However, Professor Bu is not Van Dijk, and Lin Quan is not an ordinary player.

Originally, the distance between the two was getting closer, but at this time, Lin Quan not only did not slow down his speed, but accelerated it further.

Busquez's eyes widened, and sweat was already dripping down his back.

Is the other party planning to force it?

Busquez slightly lowered his center of gravity, assuming a posture ready to intercept.

When Lin Quan is dribbling the ball forward, the football will not leave his feet too far every time.

The average player can control the ball within 1 meter of his feet every time he touches the ball, but Lin Quan can control the ball less than half a meter away from him like Messi.

At this distance, it is too difficult to grab the ball from the opponent's feet!

But it is not impossible, the key is to see the timing!
Busquets is waiting for the moment!

When Lin Quan touched the ball and the football flew away from his feet, if he immediately kicked out, he would have a chance to snatch the ball off before him!
However, there is only one such opportunity.

Once he fails to grab the ball, Lin Quan will not give him a second chance.

Busquets didn't have much time until he got to himself. With the current speed of the two, if he didn't act quickly, he would be passed by Lin Quan in a few seconds.

Finally, seeing Lin Quan touch the ball again, when the ball was close to him, Busquets made a move!
However, at the moment of his kick, Lin Quancai's foot that had touched the ball grabbed the ball again before him and kicked the ball past him.

trap!

Busquets was terrified, and already realized in his heart that he had been fooled.

He quickly reached out, trying to pull Lin Quan's jersey.

This kind of action is likely to get a card, but if he does it more covertly and releases it immediately after pulling it, the referee may not notice it.

Lin Quan's jersey was pulled by him, his body staggered, and he almost lost his balance.

The referee saw Professor Bu's foul, but in order to facilitate the offense, he signaled the game to continue.

good chance!
Seeing Lin Quan's staggering movements, Peak immediately chose to destroy it with his feet!

Do not!
Busquets turned around and saw this scene, but it was too late to remind his teammates!

Almost at the moment Pique's foot was about to touch the ball, the other foot stretched out and kicked the ball away.

Pique turned pale with fright, and turned around quickly to make up for his mistakes.

But Pique is not the kind of player who can turn around quickly. By the time he completes his turn, Lin Quan has already entered the penalty area.

The teammate was passed too quickly and thoroughly, so that Barcelona goalkeeper Pinto had no time to attack.

He squatted down slightly, staring nervously at Lin Quan's movements in order to judge the direction of the opponent's shot.

Lin Quan glanced at the goalkeeper's position, kicked up his foot and finished the shot before Mascherano tackled the ball.

The location of this shot is almost exactly the same as the location of Messi's shot just now, both of which are heading for the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!

Although Pinto was ready to make a save, he was old after all. The reaction speed of the 37-year-old veteran must not be comparable to that of the 27-year-old Joe Hart.

What's more, Joe Hart still has a plug-in!
With a bang, the football hit the inner side of the inner beam and column and bounced into the net.

After being besieged for nearly 30 minutes, Manchester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 29th minute of the first half.

The score was rewritten to 1:0, and Manchester City temporarily led by one goal.

This result was beyond the expectations of all the fans at the scene. Not only the Barcelona fans did not expect this result, but even the Manchester City fans who accompanied the team on the expedition did not expect it.

Besieged for nearly three and 10 minutes, but scored the first goal?

is this real?
There was a brief silence at the Camp Nou, and a few seconds later, huge boos flooded the stadium.

Barcelona fans finally woke up!
